(\'Now is eternal life\')

*******

Passing through meadows green

God\'s creation is seen

For He has it all made

In His beauties arrayed

Nature unspoiled by human blight

Viewed resplendent to our delight

 

Yet here, conservation

Inhibit species none

But do for them provide

They cannot be denied

For sharing earth\'s resources, this

Man and beast in peace co-exists

 

Weep sad, you willow trees

We espy clusters, these

Growing tall, shadowing

Shelter from rain, sun bring

They weep where man\'s greed and misuse

Have damaged lands with no excuse

 

Here too be birds resting

And their young do they bring

Within sanctuary there

With humans they do share

In pleasant joys by river\'s side

Taking life daily in their stride

 

\'Tis all works marvellous

God does great things for us

Though Spring, Summer, and Fall

And Winter, He o\'er all

We His sheep, He through pastures guides

His presence from us He not hides

 

Leaving our country lane

To turn to town again

Or river\'s ramble, stroll

Where\'er we be, our soul

Is strengthened, supported by you

Lord, you us help and us renew
